Illinois Farmer Urges Producers to Capitalize on Rising Soybean Prices

Thursday, February 26, 2026 at 10:45 PM

Agricultural expert Matt Bennett warns farmers not to miss current marketing opportunities in the soybean sector. The co-founder of AgMarket.net says recent price increases present a chance producers should seize now.

Agricultural producers are being encouraged to capitalize on current favorable conditions in the soybean marketplace. Matt Bennett, who co-founded AgMarket.net and operates a farm in Illinois, emphasizes that farmers should pay attention to the recent upward movement in soybean prices.

“Three weeks ago, you would have swore that you’d sell beans at $11 or better,” Bennett noted. He stressed the importance of acting on current market conditions, stating, “Now you’ve got the opportunity, so if you don’t take that opportunity, it’s on” producers themselves to make that decision.

Bennett’s advice comes as soybean markets have shown positive momentum, creating what he sees as a window for farmers to secure better returns on their crops.
